No way. However, commercial support is available for SLES / NLD and SUSE
Linux (retail version).

Just to clarify what SuSE users are expecting and what makes the main
difference between a project for enthusiasts and by entushiasts of Free
Software as Debian and a project like OpenSuSE, a project for and by
people who wants to collaborate in a Novell/SuSE effort to open their

The SUSE Super project is a perfect example of this concept... Why isn't
everybody willing to contribute to that one or create their own project?
There could be a SUSE Multimedia Project, a SUSE JFS Project, a SUSE

Novell/SUSE has opened SUSE Linux for you to do whatever you want with

This means you have access to that technology for your playground... It
doesn't mean that you can move your playgr

Hello.
Could someone please point out where can I find a document describing
the steps I need to follow in order to build a package and make it

need which haven't been packaged as part of SuSE as far as I can tell;
I would start
